Electronic Soft Starts

Electronic Soft Starts

A motor soft starter is a device used with AC electric motors to temporarily reduce the load and torque in the power train and electric current surge of the motor at start-up. This reduces the mechanical stress on the motor and shaft, as well as the electrodynamic stresses on the attached cables and electrical distribution network, extending the lifespan of the system.
